2021 Coral Reef Coloured Antique $5 Niue Silver Coin

More than 70 percent of the planet's surface is covered by oceans, a mysterious blue blanket that hides from our view an incredible ecosystem teeming with a variety of life second only to the world's rainforests. Among the most important of these ecosystems are the coral reefs. Unfortunately, over the last 30 years or so we have lost as much as half of the world's coral reefs and another 40 percent could be lost over the next 30 years. If you get the chance to go snorkeling near a coral reef, consider yourself lucky and enjoy the sights. If you can't, here's the next best thing: a spectacular colourized coin that celebrates the beauty of those aquatic wonderlands. And, unlike the living coral reefs, you're allowed to touch these reefs without fear of destroying their natural beauty.

An Underwater Design Beautiful to Behold
Struck by the renowned Mint of Poland in two ounces of highly pure 99.9% silver, this coin is a veritable feast for the eyes. To simply say it shows an image of a coral reef is to do it an injustice. Not only does it feature many different species of coral and fish, but it displays them in incredible high relief produced through the technologically advanced processes used by the Mint of Poland. Such details as an octopus resting on the coral in the centre of the design and the outlines of an old shipwreck and a shark in the background have been struck in such exquisite detail that it will have your head swimming!

Selectively Colourized Antique Finish
The mint didn't stop there, though. It also added a splash of selectively colourized elements to the design to mimic the tropical colours you would see near a real coral reef. Then, to really immerse you in a riotous cacophony of visual delights, the coin has been given a lavish antique finish that creates a spectacular three-dimensional effect. Typically applied by hand, this means that no two coins are exactly alike!
